Noting Tonight,
Tomorrow over my mums as shes throwing a little get together for the Mrs Bday that was on Tuesday as we were away
Sunday nothing planned so far, might take a pootle down to a shop to see a man about some snakes (and potentially spiders if the Mrs keeps her word....) Although the chances of me actually buying anything are slim to none as Im saving money for Kempton and waiting to sell a couple of snakes before gettin anymore

Hoping to find time to fit the new brake discs, but unlikely to get the chance to try them out..

Taking Mum to the hospital this afternoon for a top & bottom endoscopy. :S

Tomorrow if the storms hold off it's the towns music festival and a proper pub gig in the evening, every pub normally has something different on, so I'll find which is best tomoz.

Sunday is likely recovering from Saturdays hangover.

Chilling out tonight.

Up early (6am) on Saturday as it's aciiiieeeeed day (only my bone protector, sadly) then back to doing stuff round the house. My mate's coming over to help cut in the paint in my room, got a ton of stuff in boxes that needs to be put away to liberate some floor space. Will also try and get my fencing / gates on order so I can get the garden sorted soon.

Sunday prepare for a week at work as not done one of those for a while! I've got a nice half shoulder of lamb in the freezer so might get that out and have a roast. If I get bored I'll probably start sanding down the floor in my bedroom. Rock and roll! :D

Altitude dive by any chance Mac? I love freshwater diving for a change. If you haven't already, you should see if you can do a river drift dive somewhere, so much fun!!

Was going to tinker with the track bike today, but just saw the neighbours setting up and remembered they are having a Naming Ceremony for their baby, so I guess starting the green beast up today is out. Plenty of other chores to keep me entertained.

Tomorrow taking my push bike out with the kids. My little girl wasn't to be beaten by her brother, and is riding without training wheels now too, so we are all going for a ride around the regatta centre tomorrow. Once I've got them hooked on two wheels I'll introduce motors ]:)

Not really an altitude dive as our elevation is ~ 2,500'. Visibility sucked today due to recent rains with average being about 3-5', and she did well considering her experience and conditions. She did find out today that her birthday pressie in two weeks will be diving with whale sharks at the worlds largest aquarium (the Ga. Aquarium), and she was understandably psyched beyond belief!

I had to work about 5 days off duty for this, but completely worth it for her reaction today (y)

That looks amazing, and sounds like her reaction made all the extra work seem insignificant. (y)

Lucky girl! And top dad!!

Just with your dive Mac, any dive at 1000' or more is classed as an altitude dive in that you need to adjust your pressure group in dive planning. So if your diving off a dive planner chart it's worth looking at the adjustment. If your diving on a computer, no dramas as it will automatically adjust nitrogen loading values.

As for today's conditions, it will add tons to her confidence having handled that. Makes for a much more rounded diver on my experience.
